The epic legal battle between Silicon Valley heavyweights — Uber and Google’s Waymo — took an interesting turn on Tuesday thanks to bombshell accusations made by a former nanny of a key figure in the case.

Erika Wong, who cared for the children of Anthony Levandowski, claims the former Waymo and Uber engineer paid a mole inside Tesla to provide him with information about the electric-car company’s efforts to build a semi-truck.

Wong’s 81-page lawsuit, filed in a California court on Jan. 5 but discovered on Tuesday, is mostly about Levandowski’s alleged violation of state wage, labor and health code regulations.

But it veers into matters directly related to Waymo’s civil suit against Uber — which claims Levandowski downloaded 14,000 tech files from Waymo’s computers before he left the Google company for a job at Uber.

Upon returning from work last Feb. 23 — the day Waymo sued Uber — Levandowski paced across his living room sweating profusely while talking to his lawyer, Wong claims in the suit, according to Wired, which first reported on the action.

“F–k, f–k, f–k!” Levandowski allegedly screamed. “How could they do this to me? Miles, what about the clause, you … said this would work! What do I do with the discs? What do the contracts say? It’s all mine, the money, the deals, it’s all mine. What about ‘the shit?’ These are all my f–king deals!”

Levandowski, in a statement, called the Wong suit “frivolous” and “a work of fiction.”
